Sage Publications, Inc. ©1994. viii, 192 pages illustrations 24 cm text rdacontent unmediated rdamedia volume rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-186) and indexes. A clash of paradigms -- The second cognitive revolution -- Thoughts -- Cognitive psychology of the first kind -- Cognitive modeling -- Discourse and the brain -- The discursive origins of the sense of self -- Agency and personality -- Emotion words and emotional acts -- Perception and consciousness. "The Discursive Mind presents an exhilarating tour of the key philosophical revolutions that are shaping contemporary psychology. Harre and Gillett herald a new paradigm in psychology, dissolving the Cartesian distinction between mind and body in favor of the discursive turn in psychological theory. This grand, interdisciplinary overview places its emphasis on discourse: the discursive origins of the self, the problem of agency and a thoroughly social understanding of personality. In the process, the authors elevate the emotions to a far more significant place in our understanding of mind, action, and being." "The Discursive Mind is an elegant and lucidly argued book, whose theoretical breadth is matched by its treatment of a remarkable range of subjects including: consciousness, the brain, perception, thought, personality, and the emotions. Scholars, professionals, and students in psychology, communication, and sociology will find this volume provocative, insightful, delightful to read, and intellectually challenging."--Book jacket.
